How is 25% of 2023 already over?!? I refuse to believe it 🙂 . This year is flying by, but I can confirm that it’s because I’m having fun, so I have no complaints. This month I continued to enjoy New Hampshire, the sea and the start of spring. Let’s see what I got up to!

The Month Of Snow: January 2023 Recap
Happy New Year! I made it to a new year so I’m feeling grateful (though I guess my pessimism is showing 😉 …) . Anyway, this month was marked by snow and cold because I chose to spend the winter outside of tropical climates for the first time since I retired. Was it worth it? Am I losing my mind while looking out a frosted window? Let’s find out 🙂 . Here’s what I did this month: Continue reading “The Month Of Snow: January 2023 Recap”
The Month Of Holiday Cheer: December 2022 Recap

The Month Of Argentina: November 2022 Recap

Well, another month is done, I experienced fall, and enjoyed some season-appropriate adventures. Let’s see what I got up to!
I Recorded What I Did Every Hour For 2 Years Of Retirement: Here’s What Retirees Do All Day!
This weird experiment continues 🙂 . Last year I mentioned that I accidentally recorded everything I did in 1 hour increments for my whole first year of retirement. Originally this was because I was curious to see what I got up to with unlimited time, and later I found it so useful that I just kept doing it.

The Month Of Maine: September 2022 Recap
And just like that, it was fall 🙂 . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman 🙂 . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
